page.
Model History and Safety Features
The tested model of Volvo V60 was introduced in Australia
during 2011. This ANCAP rating currently applies to V60
variants with a 5 cylinder diesel engine and front-wheel-
drive. Further technical information is being sought about
other variants.
Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side
curtains are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS),
electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and electronic
stability control (ESC) are also standard. Intelligent seat
belt reminders are fitted to all seats. City Safety - an
advanced collision avoidance system - is standard. Several
other advanced safety features are available.
Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce
slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted
to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than
a two point (lap) seat belt.
OCCUPANT PROTECTION: 5 Stars
The V60 scored 15.34 out of 16 in the offset crash test.
The passenger compartment held its shape well. There
was a slight risk of serious leg injury for the driver and front

for the front passenger.
The vehicle scored 16 out of 16 in the side impact crash
test and a further two points in the pole test.
